You do know it’s not 12 hours a charge, yeah? More like 30 minutes for 50%

If you find a working charging station. Lets not walk around claiming that EV chargers are available everywhere and are not already being used when you actually find one that works.

Well no shit. If you don’t live near chargers, you’re probably not in the market for an EV to begin with.

No one who commutes hours a day / full charge is going to buy an EV.

Not to mention people in that situation likely can’t afford an EV to begin with. No one making a decent chunk of money chooses to have a shitty commute unless it’s worth it.

Yes it is. Good deduction skills.

I am not an EV for all supporter. It’s arguably worse for the environment considering you still need an energy source that’s likely coal/gas to charge it, and the batteries are extremely bad for the environment to begin with.

Anyone who thinks all cars will be EV by any particular date are just hilariously naive.

It doesn’t take 12 hours to change an electric car LOL. Maybe if you’re using your iPhones lightning cable with an adapter.

And before you point out level 2 chargers are 8-12 hours, that’s from absolutely dead, which most electric cars being charged daily, are not.

My point was there is fast chargers which can get you back on the road relatively quick if you are low.
